What is a Certified Personal Trainer?

By definition, a Personal Trainer is a fitness professional who uses the body’s response to exercise to improve clients’ overall physical health. Certified personal trainers are fitness professionals who are well rounded and well versed in correct biomechanics and exercise implementation.

Monitor and record clients progress, making adjustments asnecessary to ensure clients reach their goals in a safe and healthymanner.

My Top Ten list of why a "Personal Trainer" may be right For you!

(1) MotivationOne of the main reasons people benefit from a personal trainer is thatthey lose motivation to stick with a consistent exercise program.Certified personal trainers can provide structure and accountability,and help you develop a lifestyle that encourages health.

(2) Individualized ProgramIf you have any chronic health conditions, injuries or training goals(running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you andyour health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program thatconsiders these needs and enable you to reach your health goals.

(3) EfficiencyPersonal Trainers help you focus on results and stop wasting yourtime doing inefficient workouts. A personal trainer has a plan and willhelp you get maximum results in minimum time.

(4) Improve Technical SkillsIf you play a particular sport, the right personal trainer will help youimprove your skill by showing you new training techniques specific toyour sport. The Trainer will incorporate skills training into your programso you improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agilityand mental focus as well.

(5) You are New to ExerciseIf you are an absolute beginner, a personal trainer is the ultimatefitness coach. A good trainer will introduce you to a very simple,effective routine and build efficiently so before you know it, youhave the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you.

(6) Break Through PlateausOk, you are already in pretty decent shape, but you've been there foryears. If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of arut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jumpstart, not only your motivation, but your routine as well.

(7) Learn how to go it AloneIf you ultimately want to learn all the facets of designing your ownroutines so you don't need to use a personal trainer, going for a fewmonths may be all you need. All good personal trainers will teachyou the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achievemaximum results.

(8) Workout SafelyA personal trainer watches your form, monitors your vitals and canprovide objective feedback about your limits and strengths. Most ofus tend to ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides. Weeither push through pain or give up too soon. Because a personaltrainer can watch what you are doing while you are doing it, theycan help push you or slow you down as necessary.

(9) Workout at HomeMany personal trainers, like myself, make house calls. If youdon't have the time or interest in going to a gym, but have a hardtime knowing what to do on your own at home, a personal trainercan bring fitness into your living room.

(10) Lose WeightThere is a good reason that the number one reason people hirepersonal trainers is to lose weight and get into shape -- it works.If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle,a trainer can keep you on track and help you realize that goal.
